I agree, but he’s gotta get by Seabass again, which is no gimme.

Agreed I don’t understand why he didn’t try for 26 seconds. I screaming to hold him down
Lee beats him in nationals. Now he knows how to wrestle him
Bullsh&t. That's exactly what kills wrestling. Not a single shot attempt in 7 minutes.
I hope Seabass is seated 4th at Nattys as I really want to see Eierman and him wrestler.
I dont feel great about that but a 2 seed would make me feel worse.
Great point. Eierman looked gassed and I think Nick rides him out and goes to SV.
Eierman did stall a great deal in the match. He got called twice (1 point to Lee), but he could have been called more frequently.
Will Nick win the next time? Tough to say. Eierman is talented. His heavy hips and step over for his only TD was a great move. Lee was in deep, and should have had the TD, but give Eierman some credit there.
These two are very close. Eierman is a significantly better rider, and his abilities there ended up being the difference in this match.
I want to be part of the confident “Lee gets him in two weeks” crowd, but I’m not so sure. Nick was the better WRESTLER today and didn’t get the win. If Eierman plays run-and-hide and Nick waits until the last 90 seconds of the match to force the issue, could be a repeat at NCAA’s.
That right there is why true wrestling purists - what Eirman did there is not "great wrestling strategy", that was stalling plain and simple, not wrestling! The ref calls it ridiculously such that Eirmann is rewarded for that bullshit on a "riding point" when 100% of his riding time came off of bullshit and clear top-stalling. At one point, Eirmann didn't even attempt a mat return and DRAGGED Lee out of bounds walking backwards!!! No stall call. Ridiculous and why people puke when you call that bullshit "great wrestling".
He needed another TD and quite frankly was dominant from neutral. No sense in wasting time cutting RT when you got more scoring to do. As hard as it is to score on JE, Lee was smart to get to it. Just didn't make it happen. Outside of the punishing ride by JE, he did nothing in that match. I like Lee to make some adjustments, work on getting out of that ride and win in 2 weeks if they meet again.
It was indeed his worst match, against his best opponent. Both elite talents along with Rivera at 141. I like that weight class very much this year.
If that is all Eierman has Lee gets him the next time. Reminds me of Chris Perry at OklahomaState.
The problem with riding another 30+ seconds to get RT under 1 minute is that you then have less time to get another TD. But Lee had to cut him at some point unless he was planning on getting back points, which is pretty unlikely against Eierman.
I am honestly curious to know what made it a great match aside from the outcome.
Eierman had a great first period ride. Totally lame there on, though.
Eierman is a 25 year old college student who also happens to be a ****
Tough loss.. But this is folkstyle wrestling and Eierman is the superior mat wrestler. This will diminish the odds of Nick winning the national title because of the added challenge of getting past Rivera again.
completely disagree. He had plenty of time. It’s not like Nick can’t ride. He rode all year to a fault in fact
The good guys have finished 2nd one weekend and first 2 weeks later before 
Bums isn’t fair. Kemmerer is fun to watch. The rest just aren’t fun to watch.
Pretty sure that the PSU corner told Lee to cut Eierman in that situation. Apparently they weren't confident that Lee could keep him down for 90 seconds or so? But it might have been better to cut RT under a minute.

No doubt. My comment is regarding his attempts. To not have a single shot in 7 minutes is not good for the sport. Eierman is a great talent, but that was ridiculous.
JP2 - I get the feeling you're already on your 4th beer!
I think Tariq Wilson will be the two or three.
He did, but until the refs actually start dinging guys for stalling more often, why not do it. When Eierman got the second call with about 40 seconds left, you knew there was no way he was getting another one.

How to win without taking a single shot. Iowa style.
Jesse Delgado should have been a Hawkeye.

Michigan State has come a long way in recent years. They used to be at the bottom of the Big Ten.
Don't think he was saying "douche" but that is what HR has used to describe RBY so let's go with that, OK?
Why don’t all wrestlers use their legs in riding? Watching Lovett ride.
As I recall, Zain used to do that really well.
As I recall, Zain used to do that really well.
Thinking Wilson from NC State will get 2 seed and NLEE 3. Sea Bass will get Eirman
You call that "riding"??? I thought stalling was supposed to be called if you're top riding with no intention of improving your position? The joke Ref stalemated one of his bullshit "ride without attempting to turn or improve" routines... How about the bullshit when Lee stood and JE no mat return and ultimately dragged Lee off the mat walking backwards!!!! No freaking call!!!
Imo, the better balance in the league, the better for wrestling. More really good team, and more colleges doing well.
